Calling all Binacle Compass Manufactures
 
Just a point of information.

Please look into putting a small weatherproof LED screen, with a hook up for
a laptop computer, in the center of you compasses.


You'll sell a thousands of them to sailboat owners.

Just my 2 cents.

I give up. Why would anyone want it? Why would you put an electronic device
in the middle of magnetic compass?

Might as well, most people driving a boat around today, don't use the
compass and couldn't steer a compass course if you gave them a heading..

Maybe this LED screen could be used to play video games to occupy their time
on watch.

My skipper would love to watch Shania Twain videos while sailing.

Hell, most boats, you could take out the compass and install a cup holder
and the buyers wouldn't notice it's missing.
